Hmm.. The fact there's whole alphabet-chunks devoted to spying on citizens of other countries; CIA, NSA, GCHQ... so what would this change?
Having it autospy would be stupid - I know NSA are good at data processing, but no-one's that good. Giving the ability for "qualified agents" to echo the person of interest's screen output to their machine, now... (", Rather less likely to be detected, because it wouldn't be used except in targetted surveillance.
There are those that say appeasement bought time for Britain to start the process of tooling-up for war. Chamberlain's "peace in our time" speech was September 1938; the Spitfire production factory had opened that July.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just contesting your comparison. (",)
Misanthropism. Observational evidence suggests i runs quite high around here. (",)
And why Chamberlain? If you mean Neville Chamberlain, he tried, and tried, and tried to prevent WWII. His mistake was believing Hitler would do what he promised.
That was the solution for when the line was "locked" to allow a trace; the authorities wouldn't let the voltage on the line change, maintaining the connection. Solution? $electrical_device (a light was recommended, but the voltage draw was the important part) with an RJ25 on the end of the cord, which would draw enough to allow the connection to be broken.
This explanation is purposely vague, as I remember very, very little about it.
There's no such thing as too much scepticism; the problem is what is done with it. (The reaction should be "that won't work if you do it like that," [adding, if possible, "what about...?"] not "it can't be done.") The difference is people avoiding telling you their ideas because you'll nay-say, and them actively seeking you out because you'll spot a hole that might scupper them.
Cloud formation has significantly more to do with Earthbound physical geography than exotic particle reactions in the ionosphere.
Unfortunately. The weather forecast would be much more interesting with more high-energy physics.:)

Which is really comforting, neh?

You're obviously delusional. I mean, where would you get that idea?
